Chapter 3

*Warnings: Alcohol and drunk people. Proceed with caution*

*Timeskip to the day of the party!*

Soon the day of the party finally arrived as everyone couldn't be more excited about it. At around 5:30 pm, Mikado was in the kitchen with Teruya getting the food ready, while Shinji, Yuki, Hajime and Iroha were setting up and decorating the area. Soon, Kokoro and Emma were the first to arrive other than the group that was already there and the first to be dressed up since everyone who was setting up was going to get dressed once everything was ready. Kokoro was dressed as a wizard while Emma was dressed up as Harley Quinn.

"Woah! You guys look amazing!" Iroha exclaimed as they came in.

"Thanks! I see you guys are setting up! Do you guys need any help?" Emma asked.

"Nah, we're almost done! Nikei and Yuri should be arriving soon with the drinks" Hajime responded.

"And Setsuka, Hibiki and Kanade said they would be coming early to set up music," Yuki added.

"I see. Before we start having drinks, we should probably nominate a couple of people to stay relatively sober so we have people who can take the drunk ones back" Kokoro mentioned.

"Well, we can decide that before getting out the drinks," Shinji said.

Not too long later, Nikei and Yuri arrived, carrying bags of beer and different drinks. Nikei was dressed as a zombie while Yuri was dressed as a prince. "I got the stuff! There's a lot more so we're going to need to make trips to and back from our rooms" Nikei told them excitedly.

"We can help you out! We're just done setting up" Hajime said.

"That would be great, thanks," Nikei responded as the two of them set the bottles they had on the table as Yuki, Hajime and Shinji along with the other two headed off to get the rest of the drinks. Not too long after that, Kanade, Hibiki and Setsuka arrived, the three of them holding equipment that they needed for setting up. Setsuka was wearing a fox costume, while Hibiki was dressed as a bunny. Kanade, who had teamed up with Yuri, was wearing a princess costume.

"Hey, guys!" Hibiki said excitedly. "Looks like everything's almost ready, so we should get started on preparing the stage!"

"We'll help out too," Kokoro offered as the girls set up the microphones and music, along with Kanade's guitar at the front of the room. Soon, everything was ready. Just at the perfect time too, as the first people starting coming in. It was Yoruko and Sora, who dressed up as a witch and a black cat respectively.

"Woah! You two look amazing!" Emma smiled at them.

"Thanks! It was Yoruko's idea" Sora responded with a smile.

"Well the both of you are adorable," Setsuka said with a smile. The next people to come in were the rest of the guys, except for Nikei, all in their costumes with the rest of the alcohol. Yuki was a puppy, Shinji was a werewolf, and Hajime was a vampire. They were holding many bottles of alcohol between the four of them.

"Woah! That's a lot! You truly came through for us!" Setsuka said excitedly.

"Wait, where's Nikei?" Iroha asked.

"Ah, he went to make sure Syobai was coming and wearing his costume. He said he'll be down soon" Yuki told them. "Is everything else set up?"

"Yep! We just finished with the stage" Hibiki said as they all suddenly smelled the delicious scent of food in the air as Mikado came into the area, with a bunch of food and wearing his costume, which was a magical girl.

"Food's ready!" Mikado said excitedly.

"Woah, your costume is impressive," Yoruko said.

"He really put a lot of work into it," Teruya added, who was dressed as a cowboy following in. "Since mostly everyone's here, we can start eating and drinking"

"Before we do that, we still need to nominate a couple of people from the boys and girls side to stay sober so that we have people to take us back to our rooms. I can volunteer to help " Kokoro said.

"Leave that to me as well," Yoruko added.

"I also don't mind helping," Kanade said.

"Hajime and I probably won't drink too much anyway, so we should be good as well," Shinji said.

"I heard Nikei has an interview tomorrow. So I'll assume he'll be relatively sober" Yuki said. "I'll be good too."

"I think that's plenty. Now that we're done that, let's eat!" Emma cheered as Mikado and Teruya, with everyone's help, brought all the food to the party area as everyone began to eat. Just as everyone was starting to eat, Nikei arrived, dragging a man covered in a white sheet which was assumed to be Syobai in a ghost costume.

"Sorry, that took so long!" Nikei said.

"It's fine, glad to see you actually managed to get Syobai in a costume," Sora said impressed.

"It wasn't too easy...." Nikei admitted.

"Speaking of that, hey Spacekid, where's my bottles?" Syobai asked pulling the sheet over his head to speak.

"In the black crate in the corner. 4 bottles of my finest alcohol. Better savour it at least" Yuri grumbled.

"Thanks, I'll be there if you need me," Syobai said already heading to get drunk as everyone continued eating.

"Wow! This is amazing. You're a really good cook Mikado" Teruya told him.

"He is! He cooks quite a bit in our dorm, and he usually serves the extras to us" Yuki told Teruya.

"I'm not that good..." Mikado mumbled quite flustered from the compliment.

"Reminder to cast your ballots for the best costume and to place your $5 into the box. Shinji and I will be watching the box while we eat so don't try to cheat!" Emma called out, eating her food beside the box.

"I doubt anyone would..." Iroha said as she put her ballot in.

The party soon was in full swing, with everyone drinking, eating and just enjoying themselves. It didn't take too long before everyone was done eating and all the ballots were entered and counted by Kokoro. Kokoro soon gave the envelope with the results to Emma to announce, who was at the front of the room.

"Alright! We have our winners everyone. Starting with Best Individual Costume. Third place goes to...Shinji! The second place goes to yours truly! And first goes to...Mikado!" She said.

"Eyy I won!" Mikado said happily as he got his share of the money, alongside Shinji.

"I didn't think I was going to get third!" Shinji said.

"Your costumes were good, I could see why," Nikei said.

"Now, for the moment everyone, well mostly everyone has been waiting for...the couple costume winner!" Emma said, opening the second envelope. "And the winners are..." Emma said reading the card and was quite shocked.

"Say it already!" Hibiki said as the suspense was killing her.

"The winners are...Nikei and Syobai," Emma announced, which caused Nikei to spit out his drink, nearly choking on it. 

"Excuse me what the fuck!? We weren't even an option!" Nikei exclaimed.

"That may have been on me. I convinced everyone to vote for you.." Iroha admitted.

"What's going on?" Syobai asked already on his second bottle from the corner of the room.

"I mean...you guys did kinda dress the most like a couple of costumes," Iroha said.

"I agree. Like a zombie and ghost? Were you planning it to be like that?" Hajime asked.

"H-Hell no! I don't even like him like that!" Nikei said getting flustered.

"Well, you won! And to earn the money you have to kiss him!" Emma said adding that.

"That's not a rule! I am not kissing him!" Nikei said as Syobai got up and walked over to Nikei, pulling him over and kissing him on the cheek, before grabbing the money for both of them from Emma's hand.

"Was that so hard?" Syobai said, shoving the money into his pocket. "Consider your half of the money as a service fee," He said as he headed back to his corner to continue drinking. Nikei meanwhile was a flustered mess while Mikado was just laughing his ass off.

"That...was definitely not how I expected that to go.," Kokoro said.

"Me either" Shinji added.

"Well, let's move on to the first event. Hibiki, Kanade, will you  introduce the event?" Emma asked.

"Of course!" Hibiki said, taking the mic. "It's time for Karaoke!"

"Karaoke huh..? I never have sung before but fuck it, let's try!" Sora said excitedly.

"That's the spirit!" Emma said getting up as well.

"Did you really make a Halloween joke?" Yoruko said with a sigh.

"Sure did! Now cmon girls, let's sing!" Emma said pulling the girls, except for Kokoro to the front of the room as Hibiki played the song.

"Oh boy, most of the girls in our class singing! This will be interesting" Nikei said as the girls began singing Glass Bead by G-Friends. They really were confident, which impressed many of the guys, since like most of them were drunk.

"Wow! You girls are great at singing!" Yuki said.

"You think so? Well, it's your turn! Guys get up there and sing!" Setsuka told him.

"E-Eh!? I don't know..." Shinji mumbled embarrassed.

"Cmon guys!" Mikado said holding up a drink, very drunk already. 'W-We can't let the girls *hic* steal the show! Let's show what we guys got!"

"Well, that's drunk confidence if I say so...but eh, why not?' Hajime said. "It wouldn't hurt to try!"

"Well if you say so.," Yuki said. "Cmon Yuri!"

"Alright.," Yuri said with a sigh as the guys took the stage as they all began to sing BTS' Dynamite. Mikado and Teruya were the main vocalists and they were really good.

"Wow! Mikado, you rocked it!" Setsuka cheered.

"Hell yeah, I did!" Mikado smiled giving Setsuka a high five.

"Well if we're keeping on this karaoke thing, I have an idea. Everyone except Teruya come here" Iroha told them as everyone gathered around Iroha as she whispered the idea.

"Why am I the only one out...?" Teruya asked confused as Mikado snickered at the idea. "I love it! Let's do it!" He said as Kanade played the music. Teruya was very confused but still played around.
